Valvoline Inc. has once again secured the top position in Entrepreneur magazine’s Franchise 500 ranking for the automotive services category, marking the fourth straight year the brand has led its sector. Among more than 1,000 franchise concepts evaluated, Valvoline achieved an overall ranking of 32, driven by metrics across system-wide growth, unit performance and brand strength. The company’s network of over 2,300 franchised and company-operated service centers completed more than 30 million preventive maintenance services last year, reflecting sustained consumer demand for quick, stay-in-your-car oil changes and related services. This recognition underscores Valvoline’s leadership in operational efficiency and franchisee profitability, key factors investors monitor in assessing long-term network expansion potential.

Valvoline plans to release its fiscal first quarter 2026 results on February 4, 2026, followed by a live audio webcast at 9 a.m. ET with analysts and investors. The webcast and accompanying slide presentation will be accessible on the company’s Investor Relations site, with a replay available shortly after the call concludes. Investors will be watching for same-store service volume trends, margin developments in both company-operated and franchised outlets, and updates on network growth targets. With 13,000 team members working to drive core business performance and sustainable expansion, the upcoming report will provide critical data on how effectively Valvoline is converting its strong brand recognition into revenue and cash flow growth.
